Formation of metastable phases by spinodal decomposition

Formation of metastable phases by spinodal decomposition

Metastable phases may be spontaneously formed from other metastable phases through nucleation. Here we demonstrate the spontaneous formation of a metastable phase from an unstable equilibrium by spinodal decomposition, which leads to a transient coexistence of stable and metastable phases. This phen...
